I’m just not buying this…. Gov. Scott Walker says he first learned that his spokesman had an immunity deal in an ongoing John Doe investigation when it became public late last week. Talking to reporters after holding his second Job Creation Forum in Milwaukee, Walker said he doesn’t believe Cullen Werwie, his press secretary, should [...] It seems Republican State Senator (and noted philanderer) Randy Hopper (pictured right with his mistress) isn’t above telling a lie now and then, especially if he thinks the lie will help him win an election. In a Hopper TV ad released July 15, 2011, Hopper’s opponent, Jessica King, comes under attack for supposedly voting to [...] When Republican Governor Scott Walker unveiled his 2011-2013 biennial budget proposal on March 1, he said his proposed budget would cut spending of all dollars by more than $4 billion, or 6%. However, while Gov. Walker said his proposed biennial budget would cut spending by six percent, areport released Monday by the non-partisan Legislative Fiscal [...] At a recent appearance before the Milwaukee Press Club, Republican Milwaukee County Executive candidate Jeff Stone said, “I am neither for nor against Walker, but I have a different approach,” adding that instead of the drastic changes to collective bargaining for public employees proposed by Gov.

Walker’s proposal to eliminate virtually all collective bargaining for public employees (emphasis mine): “I understand it’s a major issue to the unions,” Stone said. “It’s not necessarily the way I [...] Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, speaking to George Will (emphasis mine): “I am convinced,” he says, “this is about money – but not the employees’ money.” It concerns union dues, which he wants the state to stop collecting for the unions, just as he wants annual votes by state employees on re-certifying the unions. He says [...] …says the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s PolitiFact: Where does that leave us? In arguing the changes would be modest, Walker cited the civil service system and said “collective bargaining is fully in tact.” However, Walker himself has outlined how his budget-repair bill would limit the collective bargaining rights of public employees. Indeed, it’s that provision that [...] Democratic State Rep. Marc Pocan exposes the budgetary trojan horse that is Gov. Scott Walker’s claim of a $3.6 billion state budget deficit for the next biennium: Governor Scott Walker’s manufactured $3.6 billion state budget deficit in the next biennium is rapidly unraveling as a bogus figure.
